Love Is A Gift To Be Given
Are you offering your gift?
I see love as a gift we give to ourselves and other people. I believe it’s a beautiful gift that makes our lives worth living and joyful. And the good thing is that we are free to choose people for our love, for our gift. It is true and it happens that we love someone but in return, the other person doesn’t love us or we can say ignores us. What we need to understand is that love is a gift to be given, not a deal we do or a set of fixed rules on which we agree with someone. It means other people have the choice to not receive our gift, and they have the right to not like the gift if they think it’s not good enough.
It all depends on another person’s interests and preferences. We cannot force people to love us back when we love them. We can just offer our love, we can just tell them that we believe they deserve the gift we have, and then it’s their choice to accept or reject it. We should not be sad when someone doesn’t love us back, we are selfish if we want people to do only what we want and deny their choices. Love is about setting people free, not controlling them.
When someone doesn’t take care of the love we give them, it doesn’t mean our love is worthless or the other person is bad. It simply means that our gift was not suitable for them, it was not meant for them. We should seek those who need the gift we want to offer and those who happily accept it.
